Stronger Dollar Is Expected
Despite Chance of Rate Cut

NEW YORK -- A stronger dollar is still in the cards this week against both the mark and yen, despite the possibility of a cut in U.S. interest rates and continuing nervousness in financial markets.

The prospect that the Federal Reserve may further lower interest rates at its meeting Tuesday remains the focus of the week, despite growing doubts the Fed will ease after new inflationary signs in the U.S. economy.
